Out of nowhere, he came to us, and just the thought of him opened our hearts. For nine months in his cozy den and three days in the world he never failed to lift our spirits. He spoke to us, not in words, but through every means he had — movement, touch, expression, heart and lungs. His message was one of acceptance, to be and to let others be, each being true to its self. We will never forget our time with Nino, the contact and connection we made. Now he has slipped the chains of the physical world, but we know he is with us still. He is in a form beyond explanation, but not beyond understanding — returned to nowhere, and everywhere. Nino, our child, we thank you for the eternal love you brought us.
Arrangements are being handled by Mayhew Funeral Homes & Crematorium of Meredith and Plymouth. For Nino's Book of Memories: www.mayhewfuneralhomes.com
